  Features quality oak upfront followed by black cherry and mulberry aromas and eucalyptus undertones. Medium-weight, rounded and fruity with a long aftertaste.

  Modern and bold, huge fruit, spikey alcohol. A swift kick in the pants...and the taste buds...to be sure. It held together nicely over two days.

  Beautiful dark plum color. Well balanced tannins. Wonderful compliment to my rump steak in Pilar, Argentina

  Inky blackish purple in appearance with a fresh and sweet fruity nose with a hint of acetone. This wine is medium full-bodied, with plenty of unresolved tannins and bitterness after 40 minutes of decanting. The palate was unexpectedly dry considering the sweet fruity nose, but the high alcohol (15%) was pretty much in check. Impressions of raw meat, earthy minerals, coffee, ginger, tobacco, and vanilla oak was appreciated although the middle palate was rather bitter, dull and somewhat awkward. This wine then finishes with lingering aftertaste of fresh fruits in the order of black grapes, currants (without the sourness) and plums. On the second day this wine tasted much more mellow and integrated. The former awkward mid-palate have largely disappeared so did the fresh fruity nose of yesterday's wine. This is definitely a big, powerful and nuanced Malbec of tremendous quality to say the least.

  Todella tuhti makean tammen, mustikan, hiilen ja kukkien tuoksu. Roteva suussa, lopulta tanniinit sulivat lähes kokonaan pois. Hieman liian laitettu omaan makuuni, mutta laadukkaasti tehty. Kova hintalappu tasoon nähden.
